Today, and/or yesterday, is Epiphany in
Western European countries and is also the
day most Russians and many other Eastern
Europeans traditionally celebrate Christmas
Eve.
Harbin, a city in the Northeast of mainland
China, also celebrates its world famous Ice
and Snow Festival at this time of year. The
30th Harbin International Ice and Snow
Sculpture Festival officially started
yesterday on January 5, 2014 and it will be
celebrated until February 28, 2014.

Taichung’s Teddy Bear Carnival
Mark 薛毓庭, a first
year DYU student of
Cultural Creative
Industries, shares a
few of his Teddy Bear
Carnival photos with us.
Teddies always make
me smile and feel
happy and Taichung’s outdoor Teddies
are no exception. They are usually soft
indoor toys covered in fur with glass eyes
but not in Taichung. These teddies have
been very popular with locals. They have
also attracted the fond and curious
interest of quite a few domestic and
international tourists as well. Moreover,
when I first saw them I felt great.

Is Mark really

is just a very big
teddy. What do

Hazel 張育慈, a second year student of
Visual Communication at DYU, on the far
right of the photo below, tells us about
her team’s Christmas party performance.
This semester’s Department of Visual
Communication Christmas party was one I will long remember. It was a very exciting and happy event.
During the Christmas party, one
team from each class performed.
A teacher judged each performance
and gave a score in order to select a
winning team. Every team that
joined in this competition tried
their best to win. Our class was no
exception. We spent many nights
practising for our performance and
although we trained very hard we were
very happy to do so.
We had a lot of fun at the party too. Every
performance was wonderful, but our
performance was the most successful with
our team winning both the Most Popular
Award and First Prize.
Allan 姬傳安, a first year student of
Cultural Creative Industries,
shares a few photos of his trip to
Nantou's Cingjing 清境農場.
Cingjing farm was very beautiful.
There were many sheep. There were also many horses. We enjoyed walking around the farm. It was not only in the mountains but also surrounded by mountains. It had excellent mountain views.

This was the first time that I participated in
a major event of the Department of Visual
Communication at DYU. I now think this
department is like a big family. Everyone is
very friendly and I really like that. I am
glad we won first place and I really look
forward to our next party.

Alex 蕭振宇, a first year English
major tells us about his New Year’s
Eve.
On New Year’s Eve, I hurried to
Yuanlin Train Station as soon as my
last class finished. I felt excited
about going to E-Da Theme Park as
soon as I boarded my train to
Kaohsiung. On arrival in Kaohsiung,
I immediately boarded a shuttle bus
to E-Da.

New Year’s Eve fireworks in E-Da Theme Park, Kaohsiung.

When the bus entered E-Da it felt like I
was entering a wonderland of beautiful
buildings that included a shopping mall
with coffee shops and restaurants.
There were even some indoor basket-
ball courts! The two five star hotels
were luxurious.
After nightfall, I watched a concert
nearby E-Da’s 80 metre high Ferris
wheel. This concert was followed by
New Year’s Eve fireworks.
